Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop atMusee du Debarquement Utah Beach
You’ll join your expert guide in Paris aboard a comfortable, private coach. On the way to Normandy, learn the details of the Allied preparations for D-Day, the largest amphibious assault in history. Your guide, a fluent English-speaker, will stay with you throughout the tour to tell the story of the operation and answer questions from history buffs and curious minds. On Utah Beach, your first stop, the Allies quickly defeated the German forces. You’ll visit an extraordinary D-Day museum housed in an old German bunker on the landing beach itself. The collection here brings home both the scale and the personal sacrifice involved in the operation, with an original B-26 airplane on display along with collections of soldiers’ letters home.
45 minutes (approx.)・Admission included
Stop atUtah Beach
Utah Beach was the westernmost landing site on D-Day and played a crucial role in the success of the Allied invasion. Unlike Omaha Beach, the landings here were met with lighter resistance, allowing troops to move inland more quickly and secure vital strategic positions. Standing on Utah Beach today, with its vast stretch of sand and open coastline, gives a powerful sense of the scale of the operation and the courage of the soldiers who fought there. The site remains a deeply significant place to reflect on the challenges of D-Day and the determination that led to the liberation of Europe.

Stop atL Estran
Having this pre-booked lunch on your day trip to Normandy is a great way to make the most of your time. Small towns have limited dining options, and searching for a restaurant can take away from your experience. With lunch arranged in advance, you can enjoy a hassle-free meal in a lovely port town, taking in the coastal atmosphere while savoring local cuisine. This ensures a smooth and efficient day, allowing you to focus on the history and significance of the D-Day sites without worrying about where to eat.
1 hour (approx.)・No admission tickets required
Stop atPointe du Hoc
Pointe du Hoc stands as one of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring D-Day battle sites. Perched on steep cliffs overlooking the English Channel, it was a heavily fortified German stronghold that posed a major threat to the Allied landings. On June 6, 1944, U.S. Army Rangers heroically scaled the 100-foot cliffs under relentless enemy fire to seize the position. Today, the site remains largely untouched, with original German bunkers, bomb craters, and shattered fortifications serving as a powerful reminder of the battle’s intensity. Walking through this rugged terrain offers a deep appreciation for the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought to secure this pivotal stronghold.
1 hour (approx.)・No admission tickets required
Stop atOmaha Beach
Stopping at Omaha Beach is essential to fully grasp the scale and impact of D-Day. This was where American forces faced the fiercest resistance, with heavy casualties in the fight to secure the beach. Walking along the shoreline allows you to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of those who landed here. Seeing the vast expanse of sand and imagining the events of June 6, 1944, provides a powerful, personal connection to history that no museum or monument alone can offer.
30 minutes (approx.)・No admission tickets required
Stop atCimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer
The American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer is a deeply moving tribute to the nearly 10,000 U.S. soldiers who gave their lives during the Normandy landings. Overlooking Omaha Beach, its rows of white crosses and Stars of David stretch across a serene landscape, offering a place for reflection and remembrance. Walking through the cemetery allows you to truly appreciate the scale of the sacrifice made for freedom. The memorial, reflecting pool, and chapel provide a solemn yet beautiful setting to honor these heroes and their enduring legacy.

Cancelled 90 minutes AFTER it was supposed to start.
358maggiep, Dec 2024
Despite our anticipation and the extensive communication we received beforehand, our tour was unexpectedly canceled just 1.5 hours after its scheduled start at 7:00 AM. This was particularly disheartening given the assurances we had about punctuality and the potential impact of the Olympics on our trip. Upon arrival, we were advised to be 20 minutes early, but we encountered significant disorganization. The tour guide failed to communicate effectively, leaving us relying on word of mouth from other guests. Initially delayed by 30 minutes due to ‘Olympic road closures,’ which seemed inconsistent with the information we received, the delay extended to two hours. Despite the situation, we were prepared to wait, understanding the significance of the visit.
However, further delays and lack of clear updates led to frustration, culminating in the abrupt cancellation of the tour. The reason given—that we were already upset and likely to leave negative reviews—was both unprofessional and disappointing.

The cemetery was very emotional for me to feel the loss and sacrifice of so many young men for our freedom. Our guide Daniel was excellent. He went above and beyond what was expected and truly made it a memorable day!
Daniel was great

Great and knowledgeable tour guide Daniel. Wish more time was allowed at the Omaha beach visitor center but was worth the day trip from Paris.
Daniel was the best
